2001 Lancia Lybra SW LX 2.4jtd from Netherlands

Summary:

Great, lots of style and very Italian

Faults:

The only thing really happened was the air/fuel ratio computer. The engine started to drop dead if you wanted to accelerate. My garage repaired and the car drives like a new boosted one, super!

General Comments:

The car has a lot of style and is comfortable. I have the blue alcantara lx model.

Car has everything you want, navigation, GSM, climate control.

Family likes it very much.

It is a very fast car, the engine is very powerful and has lots of torque.

2001 Lancia Lybra 1.6 petrol from Jordan

Summary:

This car is reliable, solid, and comfortable

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong.

General Comments:

Solid build and feel.

Superb styling and looks.

Good driver comfort and well being.

Performance of my 1.6 Petrol Engine is poor on hill climbs. Torque and power seem to kick in at above 4000 rpm.

So performance is excellent if you feel like revving. Otherwise, if you feel like cruising on winding roads you should expect to shift down a lot.

Thank you for your review. Could you make an update? I am about to purchase the same model from the same year and don't know what to expect. What is the fuel economy after two years of driving? Thanks a lot.

Hi. Do you know the differences between Lybra Intensa and "normal" Lybra? Is it just stronger engine, 16" wheels or there were some improvements in the car, like new materials in the cockpit, suspension, and so on?

Thanks in advance, Igor from Croatia.

2001 Lancia Lybra LX 1.8 16v from Netherlands

Summary:

Nice family car with good appearance and Italian taste

Faults:

Nothing, after 100000 k.m. no problems appear except for the normal maintenance. Because I'm dutch and in the Netherlands it is economical to drive on LPG (liquid Petrol Gas) by a travel distance of 40.000 km or more a year. So there is a LPG installation installed when I get the car new. This LPG installation is original from Fiat/Lancia.

General Comments:

A great looking and driving car with nice options.

I can't wait on my newly ordered Lancia Lybra Intensa wich wil be delivered the first week of may.

2000 Lancia Lybra 2000 LX station wagon 2.0 petrol from Switzerland

Summary:

An elegant car with a sporty feel. Reliable too!

Faults:

Geometry needed to be checked in order to counter uneven tyre wear. Fixed under guarantee.

General Comments:

A lovely car. Smooth, sporty, elegant, comfortable and very reliable up to now. It seems very solidly built and no squeaks have appeared after nearly 30000km and two years of ownership. Economy is averaging about 9.4L/100mks and this includes high speed drives in Germany.

The Bose sound system (7 speakers) and 6 CD changer is excellent and the GPS/built in telephone work really well.

This is by far the best Lancia built I have owned. This is my third one after a Prisma and a Thema.

I would recommend it to anyone. A colleague drives the 2.4 Diesel and is so happy with it and intends to replace it with the latest Intensa version soon.

2001 Lancia Lybra LS 2.0 petrol from Germany

Summary:

A superb car

Faults:

I have only had few problem with the air-conditioning system, but for the rest this car is absolutely a gem to own and drive. This has also been my first Italian car: very comfortable and well built with an excellent Bose sound system as standard. For someone like me who has give up his Mercedes-Benz for a Lancia, I'm a truly satisfied customer. I will also consider buying the Thesis when available. Thanks Lancia.
